A007 impact of penicillin allergy label in liver transplant recipients during transplant hospitalization

Self-reported penicillin (PCN) allergy is associated with broad-spectrum antibiotic use, increased antibiotic resistance, extended hospital length of stay (LoS), and increased risk of in-hospital complications including surgical site infections (SSI) and C. difficile infection (CDI). We aimed to determine the impact of self-reported PCN allergy in liver transplant recipients (LTR).
